AutoLens: automated lens design from scratch.

AutoLens

Automated lens design from scratch using DeepLens.

Why AutoLens performs better than Zemax/CodeV lens design: gradient calculation + Adam optimizer = better optimization capability!

How to run

1. clone or download this repo
2. run python auto_lens_design.py

Lens Design Examples

1. A video of automated design of a FoV 80deg, F/2.0, 4.55mm focal length.

2. 20 random automated lens design results for FoV 80deg, F/2.0, 4.55mm focal length.

3. An aspherical lens (optimizing for 50k iterations) with outstanding optical performance.
